OFFICE OF THE GAZETTE,
FORT. WORTH, TEX, May u, 1887.
There was fair trade yesterday both
in wholesale and retail lines. Prices are
substantially without change.
There is not much to report in the wool
business, the trade being somewhat quiet
Butter is slow with downward ten

IRON AND STEEL.
Lon and steel continue quiet. There
are no stocks of pig iron at furnaces, and
rails are firm at S39@$40. At the west
there is tendency toward concession on
pig prices and at Pittsburg on mill irons.
1t is shown by reports to Bradstreet's
that estimating for the Cambria Com
psny) out of 1000 tons of pig
iron produced weekly, about 10000
tons, or As per cent, Is of
Bessemer pig. In December, 1886, OUT
OF 127, 600 tons, 10000 tons were Besse-
mer, and one year ago, out of 1O4, 900
tons, $4,000 tons were of Bessemer.
About 100 furnaces out of about $50 in
blast, are making Bessemer pig iron.
Pig iron production has increased 50 per
cent. within year, but of the total the
Bessemer output constituted 43 per cent?
one year ago, and comprises 43 per cent.
now. This points to nearly 100000
tons of Bessemer pig Iron this year out of
about 6,800,0 tons probable produc-
ton.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Speculation in grain and provisions has
been active, with wheat and pork still in
the hands of the mysterious cliques. De-
liVeries of wheat were particularly large
on Monday and of provisions liberal. The
single house supposed to be controlling
pork has advanced the price from $21 to
S23. so per barrel. Wheat is cents
higher and firm. The visible supply will
probably decline 100000 bushels this
week. The government report, May 10,
is expected to show decline of 10 points
in condition from April, or to rs or 80,
from So in May, 1886.
Leading makes of cotton dry goods are
sold ahead, with prices firm. Woolens
weak; production of mems woolens is 20
per cent. below full capacity. With the
wool clip at hand, wool is not active at
the east. Western buyers are more conf
dent, and expect to get last years opening
prices. Cotton has been higher on in
creased takings, gaining &c on spot and
20 points on futures. Sugar is quiet on
heavy receipts of foreign and weaker mar
kets abroad. After quiet opening, spec

April 1st revisited End ward school, F.
NJ. G. Eads teacher. with Il children pres
ent. ): found considerable Improvement
since my last visit, yet it is far from what
it should be: this school seems to be grow
ing smaller by reason of want of conf
dence On the part of patrons toward the
teacher, although 4 perfectly moral and
gentlemanly man. he seems lacking in
power to express his ideas sincerely, also
in i,nparting information to the children.
In conclusion, beg leave to report that
whenever it was in my power to do SO,
have endeavored to correct anv errors that
came under my observation. l have also
spoken with the patrons and requested
their assistance in any and every way
that vii! advance their children or cor
rect evils that may exist, and [ am proud
to say thatthe people seem to be mere in
terested in education than ever knew be-
fore. ! would also suggest the pEopriety
of taking some action that will cause
teachers to discontinue the use of tobacco
during school hours, as it is bad exam

Difference Of Nlcn.
Married men are Of two kinds
good and bad. The bad are truly
horrible; he good, very good in
deed. The bad married man i'll,
treats his family in every way, and
generally ends by running away,
and leaving his wife to earn liv-
ing by needle-work. But the good
married man--w we'll. he il not madly
in love any more, hnt he believes
there never was such & woman as
his wife. He does not see Times
changes in her face; she is always,
young to him. Every baby binds
them closer to each other. There
IS an expression in a good married
mans face that bachelor cannot
have. 1t is indescribable. He is a
little nearer the angels than the
prettiest young fellow living. You
can see that his broad breast is q
pillow for somebody's head, and
that little fingers pull his whiskers.
When some one has said husband,
and other some papa, seal is set
unCn his forehead. No One-nO WO-
man at least-ever mistakes the
good married man for an instant
1t is only the erratic one who
leaves you in doubt. The good
ono can protect all the unprotected
females, and make himself geoer-
ally agreeable to the ladies, and
never leaves doubt on any mind
that there is precions little 70
man at home worth all the world to
him.
The following remarks from the
Pointe Coupee Banner are so ap'
propiate that we copy: We do
not sec why our road inspectors
should not make some effort toward
the flying of our roads, which in
some places, while the road is CON
para,ively good, travel is accomplish
ell with much difficulty and danger,
OF breaking a vehicle, on account OF
the deep, dangerous mud holes that in
many places extend across the road
with no way to avoid them. These
could be easily fixed by draining
which would not take over fifteen
minutes work in most of the places.

Tea leaves are an excellent RENE

Mustard plasters, if mixed with
the white of an egg instead of water,
will not blister the most delicate

If the face seems constantly dry

Bathing just before and just after

stomach needs the blood for the di

brings it to the surface.
An entire orchard, just planted,
